Walk and Talk Rome

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind audio experience: discover Rome through intimate, guided audio walking tours of the city's most historic and enchanting quarters. There are four guided tours for you to listen to as you walk through Rome, plus essential Italian words and phrases that every traveler wants to know.

We begin by seeing four eras of Rome's 2,000-year-old history all in one view. We ascend the Capitoline Hill with Michelangelo's harmonious Piazza; explore the prison where legend says St. Peter and Paul were held captive;
walk through the Ancient Roman Forum, with the Roman Senate House, the House of the Vestal Virgins, and the Arch of Titus; and then on to the incredible Coliseum.

City of the Soul: A Walk in Rome

The Coloseum, Villa Borghese, the Piazza di Spagna, the Trevi Fountain, and the Capuchin Church of Santa Maria della Concezione whose macabre crypt had impressed the likes of Mark Twain and Marquis de Sade; these are just some of the landmarks William Murray points out on his walking tour of Rome. Having grown up in the city, Murray makes for an expert (and engaging) tour guide who captures Rome's sights, sounds, and flavors, while also revealing its mythologized history and folklore.

Publisher's Summary

On this tour of Old Rome, you'll experience: the Piazza Navona; the spot where Julius Caesar was assassinated; Cosmic Caravaggio's; incredible coffee; art that tricks your eye; gelato that delights your palate; the Pantheon; a Renaissance masterpiece; a Baroque beauty; the remains of ancient temples, baths, and latrines; sweet, delicious water from fountains still fed by Roman springs; and a Michelangelo sculpture in Rome's only Gothic church.

What an excellent idea! No need to purchase an audiotour, just download the program, go at your own pace and enjoy the sights. It's pretty good (and better than Romewalks) but these walks still need to be fleshed out a little better in my opinion. This was the best of the audio tour iPod files we found, and it was not a bad way to do Ancient Rome (and much better than going without a guide of any sort). But I do wish there was a bit more history and substance to much of the tour.

Where does iJourneys Old Rome rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was quite a cheap audio book and compared to the more expensive books I found it to be better as its very easy to follow as you walk through Rome. The narration guiding you through the streets dose sound a bit amateurish in parts but the information was very interesting and informative. I only wished it was a bit longer.

What was one of the most memorable moments of iJourneys Old Rome?

Description of the area where the "ides of march" happened.

What about Elyse Weiner’s performance did you like?

She makes sure you are in the correct place by guiding you to landmarks before continuing with the tour.

Any additional comments?

Money well spent as I got a lot out of my trip to Rome with this guide.
